her wardrobe. The gold of the necklace fits with the brown-hued color family of the sweater, and the &#8220;V&#8221; shaped spacing between the necklace&#8217;s wooden blocks mimic its ethnic design.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s as if this geometric necklace was made to match this funky knit!<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not to say the geometric necklace didn&#8217;t flatter the other vintage pieces Meg tried on.\u00a0The necklace paired well with all 6 because rather than overwhelm the look, the necklace made all of the pieces more exciting than if worn without it.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VINTAGE_PATTERNED_DRESSES\"><\/span>VINTAGE PATTERNED DRESSES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409010660\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/vintage-fashion-outfit-inspiration-1970s-1980s-1990s-hollywood-classics-17.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"496\" alt=\"Vintage Fashion Outfit Inspiration: 1970s, 1980s, 1990s Hollywood Classics\" title=\"Vintage Fashion Outfit Inspiration: 1970s, 1980s, 1990s Hollywood Classics\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/vintage-fashion-outfit-inspiration-1970s-1980s-1990s-hollywood-classics-17.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/vintage-fashion-outfit-inspiration-1970s-1980s-1990s-hollywood-classics-17-500x459.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1.)<\/em><\/strong> This sleeveless dress was a soft cotton perfect for packing to take on a tropical island getaway.
